29 CFR 1630 and 41 CFR 60) and orders of the
Secretary of Labor as, modified by the provisions
prescribed herein, and imposed pursuant to 23
U.S.0 "140 shall constitute the EEO and specific
affirmative action standards for the contractor's
project activities under this contract. The Equal
Opportunity Construction Contract Specifications
set forth under 41 CFR 60-4.3 and the provisions
of the American Disabilities Act of 1990 (42
U.S.C. 12101 et seq.) set forth under 28 CFR 35
and 29 CFR 1630 are incorporated by reference
in this contract. In the execution of this contract,
the contractor agrees to comply with the
following minimum specific requirement activities
of EEO:
a. The contractor will work with the State
highway agency (SHA) and the Federal
Government in carrying out EEO obligations and
in their review of his/her activities under the
contract.
b. The contractor will accept as his operating
policy the following statement: "It is the policy of
this Company to assure that applicants are
employed, and that employees are treated
during employment, without regard to their race,
religion, sex, color, national origin, age or
disability. Such action shall include: employment,
upgrading, demotion, or transfer; recruitment or
recruitment advertising; layoff or termination;
rates of pay or other forms of compensation;
and selection for training, including
apprenticeship, preapprenticeship, and/or on-
the-job training."
2. EEO Officer: The contractor will designate
and make known to the SHA contracting officers

for and must be capable of effectively
administering and promoting an active contractor
program of EEO and who must be assigned
adequate authority and responsibility to do so.

contractor's staff who are authorized to hire,
supervise, promote, and discharge
employees, or who recommend such action, or
who are substantially involved in such action, will
be made fully cognizant of, and will implement,
the contractor's EEO policy and contractual
responsibilities to provide EEO in each grade
and classification of employment. To ensure that
the above agreement will be met, the following
actions will be taken as a minimum:
January 9, 2009
REQUIRED CONTRACT PROVISIONS
FEDERAL -AID CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS
a. Periodic meetings of supervisory and
personnel office employees will be conducted
before
the start of work and then not less often than
once
every six months, at which time the contractor's
EEO
policy and its implementation will be reviewed
and
explained. The meetings will be conducted by
the
EEO Officer.
b. All new supervisory or personnel office
employees will be given a thorough
indoctrination by the EEO Officer, covering all
major aspects of the contractor's EEO
obligations within thirty days following their
reporting for duty with the contractor.
c. All personnel who are engaged in direct
recruitment for the project will be instructed by
the EEO Officer in the contractor's
procedures for locating and hiring minority group
employees.
d. Notices and posters setting forth the
contractor's EEO policy will be placed in areas
readily accessible to employees, applicants for
employment and potential employees.
e. The contractor's EEO policy and the
procedures to implement such policy will be
brought to the attention of employees by means
of meetings, employee handbooks, or other
appropriate means.
4. Recruitment: When advertising for
employees, the contractor will include in all
advertisements for employees the notation: "An
Equal Opportunity Employer." All such
advertisements will be placed in publications
having a large circulation among minority
groups in the area from which the project work
force would normally be derived.
a. The contractor will, unless precluded by a
valid bargaining agreement, conduct systematic
and direct recruitment through public and private
employee referral sources likely to yield qualified
minority group applicants. To meet this
requirement, the contractor will identify sources
of potential minority group employees, and
establish with such identified sources procedures
^whereby minority group applicants may be
referred to the contractor for employment
consideration.
b. In the event the contractor has a valid
bargaining agreement providing for exclusive
4..
hiring hall referrals, he is expected to observe
the provisions of that agreement to the extent
that the system permits the contractor's
compliance with EEO contract provisions. (The
DOL has held that where implementation of such
agreements have the effect of discriminating
against minorities or women, or obligates the
contractor to do the same, such implementation
violates Executive Order 11246, as amended.)
c. The contractor will encourage his present
employees to refer minority group applicants for
employment. Information and procedures with
regard to referring minority group applicants will
be discussed with employees.
5. Personnel Actions: Wages, working
conditions, and employee benefits shall be
established and administered, and personnel
actions of every type, including hiring, upgrading,
promotion, transfer, demotion, layoff, and
termination, shall be taken without regard to
race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age or
disability.
The following procedures shall be followed:
a. The contractor will conduct periodic
inspections of project sites to insure that working
conditions and employee facilities do not indicate
discriminatory treatment of project site
personnel.
b. The contractor will periodically evaluate the
spread of wages paid within each classification
to determine any evidence of
discriminatory wage practices.
c. The contractor will periodically review selected
personnel actions in depth to determine whether
there is evidence of discrimination. Where
evidence is found, the contractor will promptly
take corrective action. If the review indicates that
the discrimination may extend beyond the
actions reviewed, such corrective action
shall include all affected persons.
d. The contractor will promptly investigate all
complaints of alleged discrimination made to the
contractor in connection with his obligations
under this contract, will attempt to resolve such
complaints, and will take appropriate corrective
action within a reasonable time. If the
investigation indicates that the discrimination
may affect persons other than the complainant,
such corrective action shall include such other
persons. Upon completion of each investigation,
the contractor will inform every complainant of all
of his avenues.of appeal.
6. Training and Promotion:
3
a. The contractor will assist in locating,
qualifying, and increasing the skills of minority
group and women employees, and applicants for
employment.
b. Consistent with the contractor's work force
requirements and as permissible under Federal
and State regulations, the contractor shall make
full use of training programs, i.e., apprenticeship,
and on-the-job training programs for the
geographical area of contract performance.
Where feasible, 25 percent of apprentices or
trainees in each occupation shall be in their first
year of apprenticeship or training. In the event a
special provision for training is provided under
this contract, this subparagraph will be
superseded as indicated in the special provision.
c. The contractor will advise employees and
applicants for employment of available training
programs and entrance requirements for each.
d. The contractor will periodically review the
training and promotion potential of minority group
and women employees and will encourage
eligible employees to apply for such training and
promotion.
7. Unions: If the contractor relies in whole or in
part upon unions as a source of employees, the
contractor will use his/her best efforts to obtain
the cooperation of such unions to increase
opportunities for minority groups and women
within the unions, and to effect referrals by such
unions of minority and female employees.
Actions by the contractor either directly or
through a contractor's association acting as
agent will include the procedures set forth below:
a. The contractor will use best efforts to develop,
in cooperation with the unions, joint training
programs aimed toward qualifying more minority
group members and women for membership in
the unions and increasing the skills of minority
group employees and women so that they may
qualify for higher paying employment.
b. The contractor will use best efforts to
incorporate an EEO clause into each union
agreement to the end that such union will be
contractually bound to refer applicants without
regard to their race, color, religion, sex, national
origin, age or disability.
c. The contractor is to obtain information as to
the referral practices and policies of the labor
union except that to the extent such information
is within the exclusive possession of the labor
union and such labor union refuses to furnish
such information to the contractor, the contractor
shall so certify to the SHA and shall set forth
what efforts have been made to obtain such
information.

REQUIRED CONTRACT PROVISIONS
FEDERAL -AID CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS
d. In the event the union is unable to provide the
contractor with a reasonable flow of minority and
women referrals within the time limit set forth in
the collective bargaining agreement, the
contractor will, through independent recruitment
efforts, fill the
employment vacancies without regard to race,
color, religion, sex, national origin, age or
disability; making full efforts to obtain qualified
and/or qualifiable minority group persons and
women. (The DOL has
held that it shall be no excuse that the union with
which the contractor has a collective bargaining
agreement providing for exclusive referral failed
to refer minority employees.) In the event the
union referral practice prevents the contractor
from meeting the obligations pursuant to
Executive Order 11246, as amended, and these
special provisions, such contractor shall
immediately notify the SHA.
8. Selection of Subcontractors, Procurement
of Materials and
Leasing of Equipment: The contractor shall not
discriminate on the grounds of race, color,
religion, sex, national origin, age or disability in
the selection and retention of subcontractors,
including procurement of materials and leases of
equipment.
a. The contractor shall notify all potential
subcontractors and suppliers of his/her EEO
obligations under this contract.
b. Disadvantaged business enterprises (DBE),
as defined in 49 CFR 23, shall have equal
opportunity to compete for and perform
subcontracts which the contractor enters into
pursuant to this contract. The contractor will use
his best efforts to solicit bids from and to utilize
DBE subcontractors or subcontractors with
meaningful minority group and female
representation among their employees.
Contractors shall obtain lists of DBE construction
firms from SHA personnel.
c. The contractor will use his best efforts to
ensure subcontractor compliance with their EEO
obligations.
9. Records and Reports: The contractor shall
keep such records as necessary to document
compliance with the EEO requirements. Such
records shall be retained for a period of three
years following completion of the contract work
and shall be available at reasonable times and
places for inspection by authorized
representatives of the SHA and the FHWA.
a. The records kept by the contractor shall
document the following:
(1) The number of minority and non -minority
group members and women employed in each
work classification on the project;
(2) The progress and efforts being made in
cooperation with unions, when applicable, to
increase employment opportunities for minorities
and women;
(3) The progress and efforts being made in
locating, hiring, training, qualifying, and
upgrading minority and female employees;
and
(4) The progress and efforts being made in
securing the services of DBE subcontractors or
subcontractors with meaningful minority and
female representation among their employees.
b. The contractors will submit an annual report to
the SHA each July for the duration of the project,
indicating the number of minority, women, and
non -minority group employees currently engaged
in each work classification required by the
contract work. This information is to be reported
on Form FHWA-1391. If on -the -job training is
being required by special provision, the
contractor will be required to collect and report
training data.
Ill. NONSEGREGATED FACILITIES
(Applicable to all Federal -aid construction
contracts and to all related subcontracts of
$10,000 or more:)
a. By submission of this bid, the execution of this
contract or subcontract, or the consummation of
this material supply agreement or purchase
order, as appropriate, the bidder, Federal -aid
construction contractor, subcontractor, material
supplier, or vendor, as appropriate, certifies that
the firm does not maintain or provide for its
employees any segregated facilities at any of its
establishments, and that the firm does not permit
its employees to perform their services at any
location, under its control, where segregated
facilities are maintained. The firm agrees that a
breach of this certification is a violation of the
EEO provisions of this contract. The firm further
certifies that no employee will be denied access
to adequate facilities on the basis of sex or
disability.
b. As used in this certification, the term
"segregated facilities" means any waiting rooms,
work areas, restrooms and washrooms,
restaurants and other eating areas, timeclocks,
locker rooms, and other storage or dressing
areas, parking lots, drinking fountains, recreation
or entertainment areas, transportation, and
housing facilities provided for employees which
are segregated by explicit directive, or are, in
fact, segregated on the basis of race, color,
religion, national origin, age or disability,
because of habit, local custom, or otherwise. The
only exception will be for the disabled when the
demands for acce ssibility override (e.g. disabled
parking).
c. The contractor agrees that it has obtained or
will obtain identical certification from proposed
subcontractors or material suppliers prior to
award of subcontracts or consummation of
material supply agreements of $10,000 or more
and that it will retain such certifications in its
files.
IV. PAYMENT OF PREDETERMINED
MINIMUM WAGE
(Applicable to all Federal -aid construction
contracts exceeding $2,000 and to all related
subcontracts, except for projects located on
roadways classified as local roads or rural minor
collectors, which are exempt.)
1. General:
a. All mechanics and laborers employed or
working upon the site of the work will be paid
unconditionally and not less often than once a
week and without subsequent deduction or
rebate on any account [except such payroll
deductions as are permitted by regulations (29
CFR 3) issued by the Secretary of Labor under
the Copeland Act (40 U.S.C. 276c)] the full
amounts of wages and bona fide fringe benefits
(or cash equivalents thereof) due at time of
payment. The payment shall be computed at
wage rates not less than those contained in the
wage determination of the
Secretary of Labor (hereinafter "the wage
determination") which is attached hereto and
made a part hereof, regardless of any
contractual relationship which may be alleged to
exist between the contractor or its
subcontractors and such laborers and
mechanics. The wage determination (including
any additional classifications and wage rates
conformed under paragraph 2 of this Section IV
and the DOL poster (WH-1321) or Form FHWA-
1495) shall be posted at all times by the
contractor and its subcontractors at the site of
the work in a prominent and accessible place
where it can be easily seen by the workers. For
the purpose of this Section, January 9, 2009
REQUIRED CONTRACT PROVISIONS
FEDERAL -AID CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS
contributions made or costs reasonably
anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits under
Section 1(b)(2) of the Davis -Bacon Act (40
U.S.C. 276a) on behalf of laborers or mechanics
are considered wages paid to such laborers or
mechanics, subject to the provisions of Section
IV, paragraph 3b, hereof. Also, for the purpose of
this Section, regular contributions made or costs
incurred for more than a weekly period (but not
less often than quarterly) under plans, funds, or
programs, which cover the particular weekly
period, are deemed to be constructively made or
incurred during such weekly period. Such
laborers and mechanics shall be paid the
appropriate wage rate and fringe benefits on the
wage determination for the classification of work
actually performed, without regard to skill, except
as provided in paragraphs 4 and 5 of this Section
IV.
b. Laborers or mechanics performing work in
more than one classification may be
compensated at the rate specified for each
classification for the time actually worked therein,
provided, that the employer's payroll records
accurately set forth the time spent in
each classification in which work is performed.
c. All rulings and interpretations of the Davis -
Bacon Act and related acts contained in 29 CFR
1, 3, and 5 are herein incorporated by reference
in this contract.
2. Classification:
a. The SHA contracting officer shall require that
any class of laborers or mechanics employed
under the contract, which is not listed in the
wage determination, shall be classified in
conformance with the wage determination.
b. The contracting officer shall approve an
additional classification, wage rate and fringe
benefits only when the following criteria have
been met:
(1) the work to be performed by the additional
classification requested is not performed by a
classification in the wage determination;
(2) the additional classification is utilized in the
area by the construction industry;
(3) the proposed wage rate, including any bona
fide fringe benefits, bears a reasonable
relationship to the wage rates contained in the
wage determination; and
(4) with respect to helpers, when such a
classification prevails in the area in which the
work is performed.
c. If the contractor or subcontractors, as
appropriate, the laborers and mechanics (if
known) to be employed in the additional
classification or their representatives, and the
contracting officer agree on the classification and
wage rate (including the amount designated for
fringe benefits where appropriate), a report of the
action taken shall be sent by the contracting
officer to the DOL, Administrator of the Wage
and Hour Division, Employment Standards
Administration, Washington, D.C. 20210. The
Wage and Hour Administrator, or an authorized
representative, will approve, modify, or
disapprove every additional classification action
within 30 days of receipt and so advise the
contracting officer or will notify the contracting
officer within the 30-day period that additional
time is necessary.
d. In the event the contractor or subcontractors,
as appropriate, the laborers or mechanics to be
employed in the additional classification or their
representatives, and the contracting officer do
not agree on the proposed classification and
wage rate (including the amount designated for
fringe benefits, where appropriate), the
contracting officer shall refer the questions,
including the views of.all interested parties and
the recommendation of the contracting officer, to
the Wage and Hour Administrator for
determination. Said Administrator, or an
authorized representative, will issue a
determination within 30 days of receipt and so
advise the contracting officer or will notify the
contracting officer within the 30-day period that
additional time is necessary
e. The wage rate (including fringe benefits where
appropriate) determined pursuant to paragraph
2c or 2d of this Section IV shall '
be paid to all workers performing work in the
additional classification from the first day on
which work is performed in the classification.
3. Payment of Fringe Benefits:
a. Whenever the minimum wage rate prescribed
in the contract for a class of laborers or
mechanics includes a fringe benefit which is not
expressed as an hourly rate, the contractor or
C.
subcontractors, as appropriate, shall either pay
the benefit as stated in the wage determination
or shall pay another bona fide fringe benefit or
an hourly case equivalent thereof.
b. If the contractor or subcontractor, as
appropriate, does not make payments to a
trustee or other third person, he/she may
consider as a part of the wages of any laborer or
mechanic the amount of any costs reasonably
anticipated in providing bona fide fringe benefits
under a plan or program, provided, that the
Secretary of Labor has found, upon the written
request of the contractor, that the applicable
standards of the Davis -Bacon Act have been
met. The Secretary of Labor may require the
contractor to set aside in a separate account
assets for the meeting of obligations under the
plan or program.
4. Apprentices and Trainees (Programs of the
U.S. DOL) and Helpers:
a. Apprentices:
(1) Apprentices will be permitted to work at less
than the predetermined rate for the work they
performed when they are employed pursuant to
and individually registered in a bona fide
apprenticeship program registered with the DOL,
Employment and Training Administration,
Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training, or
with a State apprenticeship agency recognized
by the Bureau, or if a person is employed in
his/her first 90 days of probationary employment
as an apprentice in such an apprenticeship
program, who is not individually registered in the
program, but who has been certified by the
Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training or a State
apprenticeship agency (where appropriate) to be
eligible for probationary employment as an
apprentice.
(2) The allowable ratio of apprentices to
journeyman -level employees on the job site in
any craft classification shall not be greater than
the ratio permitted to the contractor as to the
entire work force under the registered program.
Any employee listed on a payroll at an
apprentice wage rate, who is not registered or
otherwise employed as stated above, shall be
paid not less than the applicable wage rate listed
in the wage determination for the classification of .
work actually performed. In addition, any
apprentice performing work on the job site in
excess of the ratio permitted under the
registered program shall be paid not less than
the applicable wage rate on the wage
determination for the work actually performed.
Where a contractor or subcontractor is
performing construction on a project in a locality
other than that in which its program is registered,
the ratios and wage rates (expressed in
percentages of the journeyman -level hourly rate)
specified in the contractor's or subcontractor's
registered program shall be observed.
(3) Every apprentice must be paid at not less
than the rate specified in the registered program
for the apprentice's level of progress, expressed
as a percentage of the journeyman -level hourly
rate
January 9, 2009
REQUIRED CONTRACT PROVISIONS
FEDERAL -AID CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS
specified in the applicable wage determination.
Apprentices shall be paid fringe benefits in
accordance with the provisions of the
apprenticeship program. If the apprenticeship
program does not specify fringe benefits,
apprentices must be paid the full amount of
fringe benefits listed on the wage determination
for the applicable classification. If the
Administrator for the Wage and Hour Division
determines that a different practice prevails for
the applicable apprentice classification, fringes
shall be
paid in accordance with that determination.
(4) In the event the Bureau of Apprenticeship
and Training, or a State apprenticeship agency
recognized by the Bureau, withdraws approval of
an apprenticeship program, the contractor or
subcontractor will no longer be permitted to
utilize apprentices at less than the applicable
predetermined rate for the comparable work
performed by regular employees until an
acceptable program is approved.
b. Trainees:
(1) Except as provided in 29 CFR 5.16, trainees
